At a 100% Alternator all good.
Between a 100% and

• The thermal protection is monitored by a thermostat (cooling for approximately 1/4h). The fault indicator switches on,
the display shows «th».
• If the machine is faulty, an extra thermal protection cuts the machine’s power supply without further indications for
the user. Place the machine in a well ventilated area and wait 15 minutes.
• In the event of power supply fault, the machine will enter fault protection mode, The error LED switches on and the
display shows «dEF». If the fault is major, an internal fuse protects the machine. This fuse must be replaced by an
aftersales technician.
